How I Make 50-100k+ Gold a Week Without Raids in Lost Ark

I've been holding this secret close to my chest because it will ruin my market. I make a stupid amount of extra gold a week in Lost Ark, with fairly no work. Most will see this and give up immediately as they will believe it's too daunting, but will you stick with it make it rich? Follow my journey from a broke Lost Ark player in 2022, to a player bustling with gold mid-way through 2024. Enjoy and let me know what you think below, trying something newish.

Just an update.... stayed off market for a week since it got crazy saturated, switched character i sold on and sold 2 in 6 hours for 48k profit....

[@kyle784]

I used to do a lot of trading in the gem market and I had a few strategies. 1. At price "peaks" when lvl.7s were over 14k in NAW I would sell off all my lvl.8+ gems on all my characters and cash in on the spike. I kept a lvl.7 gem copy of all my gems I pushed lvl.8+ for this reason, then rebuy when they went below 12k for a lvl.7. Taking my 100k+ gold win and 5-15 million silver loss(I'd get some of them for free via combining). 2. Simple churn. Sometimes lvl.7s were going for 11k but lvl.9s were going for 110k, combine and list for easy gold(try on a class where you can get a skill premium and even more gold). 3. lvl.10 combining for profit. When the average profit from rolling a lvl.10 was over 12k I'd take the gamble. 4. Rolling skills for profits like you did here. I tried all my characters and I found that AT Scouter, Glavier and Support CD gems all sold well. I did lvl. 5 6 and 7s here trading up from lvl.4/5s so I could easily turn most of my gems into skills that would resell. I switched to only selling lvl.9s after the lvl.7 event gem passes. I made some more gold reselling trade kits/solars/trade mats and skins(especially legendary until they started offering cloth in the free Ark Pass)

6 hours later doom befell my stable market. The principles remain the same for whenever the market stabilizes but goddamn the timing aha.

[@sunteraze]

Destruction bomb is the meta also to make gold. Due to Thaemine g1 and Akkan there will be demand of it. Also the splendid Panacea also doing great in gold making.

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Yeah I guess thaemine g1 and Akkan g2 and voldis g4 be farming destros

[@Cadaveri]

I used to do this, but LOAon really fucked me over, millions of gold gone in an instant lol

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I haven’t really been hit since 9s didn’t get hit that hard and people still buying at a profit of my original price Definitely hilarious timing though of this release

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Gem Market hitting a rocky slope with this new LOAon, Diamond hand friends! Prob best time to buy, but maybe watch as it free falls with whales off loading their alts gems. turns out roster event 7s is the actual true nail in the coffin for the 7 market

[@ieababies]

I have been flipping lv 7 for almost 1.5 years now. it has high and low during event pass, new class and super mokoko. but it has always been profit no matter what. gem price may dip a bit but need is still there. I can safely say i have made over 100m gold just from lvl 7.

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

have u tried 9's?

[@ieababies]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace lvl 7 is the sweet spot especially for cd gems. You can try to flip with dmg gems as well but those will always be cheaper then cd gem. Dont do 9, you wont get as much out of 9s. Before the crash, i had been buying around 11k and selling for 14k-16k (you will need to sell lvl 9 for 15k for the same percentage, the highest i see is around 13 and it is expensive to reroll/rare to get good gems) depending on the class. The key is to have a wide enough roster, so you can roll for popular classes (db, soulfist, wd, breaker was pretty high demand too despit it comes with event pass) depending on supply. I also need a second roster just to list more gems. as we speak, the gem price is stabled around 1k i think you can still sell for 13k (2.5k profit) easily. Dont stuck too much gem in your hand thought, the price may dip too low that you end up losing gold. This IS the FASTEST way to earn gold and this method is very consistent even after the T4 drops.

[@fataliity101]

So your the reason every time I need a lv9 Glaivier gem, I see it recently sold for 100k yet its now listed for 117k -.-

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Apologies good sir, the gold it beckons to me and I cannot turn her away. Join the union!

[@s.a4034]

These numbers that you say just make no sense !! Damage gem lvl9 130-140k !! I just yesterday bought for 97k (top skill of the class)

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

This was back in September for 130-140k. I sell level 9 damage gems daily for 128k.

[@s.a4034]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace true , that time i sold around 125k too , anyway , first time seeing you , nice to see a lost ark youtuber that have something to say , other than usual doomer shit.

[@efemenoserime6515]

Im pretty new yo LA. How can i get these gems (exepct Chaos dungeons?)

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Chaos dungeons, cubes, siege islands (happens twice a week based upon guilds on your servers scheduling them), there’s a boat outside of punika sometimes that you can buy from like once a week, kayangel has a vendor that you can convert some of the loot into two level 5s a week. Cubes and chaos are your main sources though.

[@nak_pc9666]

Thanks Union Leader! This helped me finally get the gold I needed to buy my 10s!

[@robin2thek]

Lvl 7 gems was 6000 gold this weekend

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I’ve made some good gold this weekend on 9s because of that dip

[@54321eclipse12345]

I thought everyone does that on a base level? You keep all the gems you get and fuse to level 6 and then fuse to 7 on the char with highest average gem EV on skills. That is usually +2k weekly gold. At level 9 it is a different story. That ain't making 50-100k either though. Selling even one of those for 110k(100k normal prices) takes about 2 weeks and costs 5k in market fee. Maybe on breaker release you get more g2g clowns paying you. But ignoring that, this means you need about 4 million gold bound in gems on the market to make 100k a week. Yea no thanks.

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I’m confused did you just skim through the video? Previous to last nights market breaker, I was making 1-3 level 9 sales a day with a 15-25k profit per? Even in the 7 section I mention like 2-4 k profit per sale when I was doing with multi sales a day. Maybe I gotta make the video longer next time.

[@54321eclipse12345]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace I just don't get how you get these to sell, when I do the same my gems do not sell for weeks. As I mentioned maybe breaker players are just all braindead g2g clowns and it is just only possible on breaker. I can for certain say on all my classes it looks as I described above. Like for every gem that isn't already listed at 100k there is 5 people undercutting me once I list for above 110k.

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

@54321eclipse12345 I can confidently say I have been selling daily prior to the crash on breaker. Currently the market is saturated but no joke it was daily for 128k per with me just buying for 101k.

I’m not crafting

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

cryptic

[@MMTrapsYT]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace crafting is for no lifers dude, it’s slow and boring. I don’t want to do that in any game I play. The fact that they made crafting a thing to make gold is very disappointing. Una’s tasks are a chore and as far as I can tell raids are the only fun way of making gold and it’s fking locked behind demands from lunatic players. I’m not happy about lost ark, have not been happy for a long time, but the damn rpg elements of the game are too good to ignore. Lost ark is a lost in thought game.

[@RedWill42]

This aged well

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Last 3 minutes not so much eh

[@RedWill42]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace If your recommending anyone buy anything right now, it's bad advice. Hard hold on anything with Gems until we know the farm rates on T4 (from KR in july). Oreha, Materials, SH crafting, etc is all a loss and will be until T4.

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Market is unstable currently yes, it’s why I’m saying last 3 minutes is kind of washed. Gem market will probably tank a bit after this ags announcement in a few then after the dev talk end of June and again when Korea gets the content. But principles of gem selling and profit still stand true when this does stabilize.

[@RedWill42]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace It's more than that. T4 being known kills T3 now for us. 1620>1640 is free which means you do not need to engage in Adv Honing anymore, you still can, it still matters but it isn't a requirement. The better play if your 1620 is to do nothing until T4, jump to 1640 and have access too all content, including being overhoned for Thaemine HM to go back and unlock your 2nd half of trancendence. So the only person still honing is people getting to 1620 in prep. Everything else, every other resource, gem, braclet, accessory, oreha, fish, relic, etc value has been invalidated until we hit T4. And with AGS now not even being willing to give us the roadmap update (they announced they are going to announce something in July) that kills motivation even harder. Buy nothing. Sell everything.

[@jlee9360]

Its kinda funny this was posted now as the gem market completely crashed following a horrible LoaOn

@godofnation have u seen the RU region release notes? I was telling people last night there was no way behemoth comes after or at same time as tier 4, but these RU track seems to suggest they getting September with behemoth. And we are on a very similar release track as them at the moment. I was with you brother until I saw that this morning aha. Unless I’m drastically confused and tier 4 and season 3 aren’t intertwined. *edit also pretty sure echidna releases in like two weeks

USA Edition 🌈💔 Ugh, the US is like, a total mixed bag when it comes to trans rights. rolls eyes California, New York, and like, all of New England are pretty chill and accepting, but then there are places like Texas and Florida that are just, like, totally not okay. >:((( It's kinda sad, tbh, cuz everyone deserves to feel safe and loved, no matter who they are. :/ Canadian Cuties 🍁💕 Canada is overall super cute and supportive, especially British Columbia and most of the eastern provinces! X3 But some places, like Alberta and Saskatchewan, are still kinda behind the times, which is a bummer. :P Still, it's definitely a step up from the US in most ways! Mexican Mixtape 🇲🇽✨ Mexico City is totally the place to be if you're trans, like, super progressive and awesome! :D But some other states are more... erm :P traditional, and maybe not as welcoming. :/ It's kinda a rollercoaster ride, but there's definitely hope for the future! South American Sass 💃🔥 Argentina and Uruguay are like, the queens of trans rights in South America! 👑 But sadly, lots of other countries are still struggling with acceptance and equality. It's kinda heartbreaking, but there are always amazing activists fighting for change! European Escapade 🏰🎭 Western Europe is generally pretty awesome, especially places like Spain, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. ✨ But Eastern Europe... not so much. Like, hello Hungary and Poland, get with the program! >:(( It's a reminder that even in supposedly "developed" places, there's still a long way to go. :/ Asian Adventures 🐉🌸 Asia is a super diverse continent, and the situation for trans folks varies a lot. Taiwan and Israel are doing pretty well, but then there are places like Iran and Saudi Arabia that are... not great. >;((( It's a complex issue, but hopefully things will improve over time!
